I ve been the one who has been frightened
I m almost borne away
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
And it must be dust or smoke that s in my eyes
How can I cry about something or someone that I won t see
All my friends all say she had her chance
Let s go shoot some pool
You know a fool is just a fool
And I ve tried everything that whiskey cures
-
But the pain endures
-
Now I m feeling that pain
I put my pride in my pocket
That s how I ll spend my loneliest days
And it must be dust or smoke that s in my eyes
Don t know what to do
Hold the lamp above the rafter
These smoke filled rooms will not replace her
-
I ve been the one who has been frightened
And almost borne away
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
But it must be dust or smoke that s in my eyes
